Jay Gorajia has been appointed as General Manager of the Singapore subsidiary, to manage the Southeast Asia region. During the last 5 years, Jay Gorajia held a range of management positions in Valor, most recently managing Valor�s distribution channel in South Korea and before that serving as Vice President Customer Support for Valor Japan, supporting all sales and engineering activities. Gorajia�s strong technical background coupled with his sales management experience brings extensive knowledge to Valor�s new subsidiary in the region.
Commenting on his appointment, Jay Gorajia, General Manager, said �In the manufacturing-dominant Southeast Asia region Valor brings powerful NPI (New Product Introduction) Engineering tools for complete board verification to assembly and bare board manufacturing, as well as best-in-class optimization tools for production floor equipment, leading to increased utilization and capacity without added hardware investment. As more EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) companies add ODM (Original Device Manufacturer) and value-added design services to their offerings, Valor has a large potential for growth with both engineering collaboration, with the e4eNet tools, and strong DFM (Design for Manufacturability) physical verification software tools. Coupled with Valor�s unique component library solution and the effective use of Valor�s ODB++ data model, this streamlines data and communication from design to manufacturing, allowing an overall cost reduction in the manufacturing supply chain.�
"Valor�s dedication to the multinational companies, including Celestica, Motorola, SCI, Sony, Solectron and many others, comprise a large share of the Southeast Asia market , and the potential growth in emerging markets in this region has prompted Valor to establish a direct sales operation . Gorajia�s in-depth product knowledge and strong management skills will help us quickly build the distribution channels in the various South East Asia countries, and effectively manage the sales operation to expand our business in the region", commented Uri Michaelis, Vice President of Valor Far East Operations.
